Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs graced the event as Chief Guest. Shri Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary (Power), Government of India was the Special Guest on the occasion. Shri R.K.

In his address Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Power, Housing and Urban Affairs extended his heartfelt congratulations to both the organizations and expressed his delight in being part of this historic occasion. The Hon’ble Minister said that the unparalleled contribution made by NHPC and NTPC to the Indian power sector over the past five decades is a matter of pride for us and their dedication and commitment towards providing a stable and continuous power supply have been instrumental in the sustainable development of the country.
In his address Shri Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary (Power), Government of India highlighted the remarkable achievements of NTPC and NHPC.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri R.K. Chaudhary, CMD, NHPC extended his best wishes to both NHPC and NTPC employees for entry into Golden Jubilee year. Shri Chaudhary enumerated upon the various achievements of NHPC since its inception in 1975 in terms of power generation and profitability. CMD, NHPC said that NHPC’s successes are numerous and we have not only achieved excellence in the implementation of hydropower projects from concept to commissioning, but have also adopted the principles of sustainable development. He also said that NHPC’s 50th Raising Day has become extra special as NHPC has achieved Navratna company status on August 30th this year which reflect our hard work, dedication and commitment to high standards.

The CMD said the dedication and resilience of our workforce have been instrumental in achieving this remarkable feat. This year, as we honor our legacy, we also resolve to embrace innovation and set new standards of performance, safety, and environmental stewardship, he said. NTPC has consistently demonstrated its commitment to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable power to the nation. We acted as a growth engine for the nation's progress over the years, evolved continuously and made a long-lasting impact on the country’s growth story. Today, when people think of electricity in the country, they instantly think of NTPC, which gives us a feeling of pride and puts additional responsibility on us, he added.
 
During the event, Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Power, Housing and Urban Affairs released two special publications namely NHPC's comic book, "Jal se Jyoti" and NTPC's coffee table book, "Samathvam". NHPC's comic book, "Jal se Jyoti" aims to educate children about the importance and process of hydropower generation through engaging storytelling and vibrant illustrations. NTPC's coffee table book, "Samathvam," chronicles the rich history of NTPC through stunning visuals and inspiring stories. "Samathvam," a Sanskrit word meaning equanimity and balance, encapsulates NTPC's philosophy over the last 50 years. The book highlights NTPC's journey from a single thermal power plant to India's largest integrated power utility, showcasing its contributions to energy security, environmental sustainability, innovation, community empowerment, and biodiversity.
A special highlight of the event was a musical performance by renowned playback singer Shri Abhijeet Bhattacharya, whose enthralling melodies mesmerized the audience and added a special touch to the celebration.
